Wow.  Mack obsessing over Longhorn basketball too.   He has really moved on fellas!

The team is just young.  Shaka will get them there eventually.  Back to back blowout losses is no big deal.  

 

The Ags aren't very good either if that makes you feel better.  They miss JJ bad!  Our point guard play is brutal.

Doesn't make me feel better.  Rooting for the Ags in basketball.  You guys will have 2 of our kids next year.  

As for us, I'm not surprised and was told before the season that they would take some early lumps.  But you're right, Shaka will get them there eventually.  That's one hire I have absolutely no doubts about.   You have to trust the process.  

We have two blowout losses, I'm not the least concerned and still believe we will be fine by the end of the year.  Ags lose by 2 at home against USC and some Ags are freaking out saying they aren't a tournament team.  We call it basketball IQ.  You are correct that y'all need a PG badly and JJ getting hosed by the NCAA took a team that could go sweet 16 or deeper and probably turned them into merely a qualifier.  But they will be fine and are also young.  I would bet a hefty sum the Ags make the tournament.

He will. Very young team.

Aren't all of the good teams in college basketball young?  1 & done has a lot to do with it.  You can't make the same excuses in basketball that y'all do for football.  

 

Kentucky's roster includes 7 freshman, 4 sophomores, & 3 seniors.  They start 4 freshman and a sophomore.  They seem to have a pretty good team this year for a bunch of young kids.

There are no one and done guys at UT.

Shaka did not have one and done guys at VCU. 

They should get better.

Shaka will be fine.  He's a rock star who has a great understanding of the game.  He signed 2 Mickey D's AAs this year alone.  I would put him in the top 10 college coaches the kids want to play for and possibly top 5.   I will put it this way, he's closer to 5 than 10.   Texas will be a perennial top 10 program very soon.  I will be back to tell you I told you so.

    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
